Fitbaw Awards
Originally uploaded by cocovan.

Well I don't know about you guys, but I thought last night went quite well! Thanks very much for all coming out and helping to drink the kitty. When I got home last night, there was a whole £1 left in my pocket from it!

Thanks also very much for my smashing Sampdoria top - it's a cracker and a perfect fit for my manly frame too!

In caes anyone missed any of the awards last night, here's the list and reasons why people won what. If anyone wants an electronic version of their award (maybe you'd like to set it as your desktop to let the whole world know?) then send me an email and I'll get your award to you.

Enjoy the game tonight! I'll be at home playing with my new £30 GameCube - w00t!

Si:
The Crap Injury Award - He ran, he fell over and that was it. No one tackled him, no one ran into him - he just fell over and that was that. He ain't played for 20 weeks. Si!

Tom:
The Thunderbolt Award - Goes to the player with the mightiest shot. Martie, Gordon and Creeky all have a lethal shot on them but none of them can match the awesome power on display when Tom winds up that right toe of his!

Luke:
Lucky Dip of Excuses - Does he have them all pre-thought or does he think them up on the spot. From "I'm blind" right the way through to "I can't play on Wednesday because I have a chess match on the Tuesday", Luke has missed the most number of games with the worst number of reasons.

Neil:
Terrible Haircut of the Year - Contenders are Stu (mullet), Martie, (gay hair band) but goes to Neil for his "magic" ponytail/comb-over.

Martie:
The Left foot of the Year - It must be so good as he's scared to use it against us.

Michael:
Hack of the Year - Not that Michael is a dirty player. We refer of course to his journalistic style in the match reports.

Stuart:
Most Improved Player of the Year - Nothing to do with footballing skills - he just looks less offensive now without the ginger bush and the mullet. A vast improvement.

Gordon:
The Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Award - Like the man this award is named after, this person has proved themselves to be more than able to come off the bench and slot into any team. He also normally proves to be better than the person he normally replaces!

Craig:
The Bulldozer Award - as wide as a fitbaw goal and with pace like a whippet, there no man more like to come charging up the wing, straight at you and then right over the top. He's also managed to be involved in broken toes, snapped ankles and twanged hammies without actually managing to injure himself.

Christian:
The Multi-hinged Limbs of the Year - Could be Alan, but for his ability to steal the ball from your feet whilst standing on the other side of the pitch, Big Creeky wins the award.

Foxy:
The Ally McCoist Award - Not since the glory days of the genius that was Ally McCoist have we seen such unashamed poaching on the park. Is it that he has the ability to read the game well or is it coz he's just getting on in years? I'm sure Foxy will be proud to receive an award named after his hero!

Alan:
Player of the Year - Only a few have topped the league (Martie, Foxy, Luke(?)) but one man has remained there for 99% of the time. King Midas, The Rock in defence, the lowest scorer of goals! ALAN!
